This question should be formulated better. But if you're talking about basic positions, there are five (first, second, third, fourth, fifth), like is usuall taught in any Ballet class. The fifth position, though, varies from the Russian (Vaganova) Method, where the feet are completely aligned.

What does feet positions mean in dance?

The five positions of the feet come from ballet, and are the foundation for many movements in ballet technique.Aside from static positions (we perform plies at the barre in first, second, fourth, and fifth, and often land jumps in first or fifth), the five positions also create landmarks for the feet to move through during more dynamic movements. For example, the chasse passes through fourth or second position, and assemble is a movement in which your feet meet in fifth in the air.All five positions are "turned out", meaning the toes point away from the midline of the body, but derivations are used in modern dance and contemporary ballet in which the feet are in parallel.

Why do people perform contempoary dance?

(I think) It is because they do not want to dance Ballet. According to what I have heard, Contemporary is supposed to be against Ballet, and it was supposed to be for people who want to break free from the rules of Ballet. The woman that invented Contemporary probably learned Ballet and probably found it very restricted and questioned about (e.g.) why the positions were like that and why she could not do it another way. I think that is why she invented Contemporary.
